Sports Illustrated Model Ashley Graham Responds to Cheryl Tiegs' Criticism of Her Body

This is a follow up on the original thread that I posted about the three new super models with a PLUS size earlier this year.

Apparently Cheryl Tiegs said that her body weight was pretty much unacceptable,

Tiegs, however, did not feel the same way, telling an E! News reporter that she thought the magazine was "glamorizing" full-figured women and she doesn't "think [Graham's weight] is healthy in the long run."

I believe that Graham is quite the amazing woman! Hats off to her and KUDOS for letting the negative remarks just slide off of her back I think she is gorgeous!

Cheryll Tiegs is a TW.

I applaud them for finally using normal size women. It's not like she is obese. How the hell does Cheryl know if she is healthy or not? She is beautiful. (Ashley)

I think Ashley Graham at 28 is better looking than Cheryl Tiegs at 28. But that is just my personal opinion.

As to whether Ashley Graham is unhealthy. She looks healthy and proportional to me.

Neither one is/was my type.

Most models I find are grossly to thin if anything. That girl is gorgeous in my opinion. More power to her. She can swim on my beach any day of the week.

I can understand some people complaining about models like Tess Holiday glamorizing unhealthy weight, but Ashley just looks great.

No time for the fat acceptance movement.If you're OK being unhealthy and fat good for you,just don't promote it as being healthy to justify your lazy lifestyle.

Have you seen Ashley Graham? Not sure that 'fat' is a term I'd use.
She is a normal woman with curves and looks perfectly healthy.
Some people have an extremely warped view of health and weight and physical appearance.

I was expecting an elephant, but when I search for images of Graham she actually looks pretty attractive. I would also like to see more normal-sized models like her.

Ashley is not fat and I'm of the opinion that being rail thin is not healthy, when I see someone rail thin I wonder if they are sick with a loss of appetite from being sick. I've been there and experienced being super thin because I had no appetite from being sick.

My opinion, for what it's worth.....
